D-Lynx is a dynamic, web-based digital archives repository. This space is used to manage digital material created by the college community, and it’s open to all members of the Rhodes community (including Alumni!). D-Lynx is committed to the stewardship and long-term preservation of digital materials in a secure, permanent format that is organized and simple to access. All items placed in D-Lynx are search-able and brows-able. They can be accessed on campus through D-Lynx, and they are also searchable through other search engines like Google!
D-Lynx is compatable with Moodle and provides access to stored work from anywhere. It’s a great place to archive professional publications, photos, faculty collections, newspapers, committee documents, department records and more! It’s organized using the college’s organizational categories of Divisions, Departments, Offices and so forth.
Barret’s archivist, Elizabeth Gates, and a diligent RSA have already entered most of the Rhodes Syllabi into D-Lynx, and soon the archives crew will begin the special project of digitizing all of the old Sou’wester issues for inclusion in the repository. Elizabeth and Stacy Pennington have worked hard to make D-Lynx user friendly by creating templates and forms that make creating a collection fast and easy to follow. Check out this great space @ http://dam.rhodes.edu:8080/dspace/, and contact Ms. Gates (3902) to discover how valuable D-Lynx can be for you!
It’s = contraction for “it is”
“alumni” is the plural of “alumnus”
You’re right. That’s what I get for flying through a post and not checking it before I hit “publish”. Thanks for reading!
